Situated in a Regency townhouse, this cinema room juxtaposes contemporary elements, opulent fabrics, textures and colours to create a coherent space. When a previous client came asking for a cinema room at home, to be situated in the lower ground floor of their townhouse on the Brighton seafront, Pfeiffer Design jumped at the chance to create something truly special.

The design brief was to design a home cinema room that felt warm, cosy, traditional and something that really added value and intrigue to the property. The lower ground floor location meant that the room provided the perfect setting for a cinema, a room in which to relax and retreat.

Inspired by the architectural features of the building, the Art Deco movement and the exclusivity of a private Gentlemen’s Club, the design juxtaposed contemporary elements, opulent fabrics, and sumptuous colours to create a coherent scheme. Pfeiffer Design’s concept provided options that not only fit the brief, but expanded upon it, providing options and ideas that were functional and practical in terms of comfort and acoustics but nevertheless seriously glamorous.

The design of the cinema room is set apart from the rest of the home, with a secretive exclusive art deco interior which contrasts with the period features of the rest of the house. The in-house team of upholsterers and curtain makers designed and made the upholstered furniture pieces, curtains, and soft furnishings, while the joiner installed a bespoke media wall complete with panelled cabinetry and inlaid with natural cork wallpaper, in which to disguise unsightly AV equipment.
